FABRIC WITH PATTERNS PRINTED THEREON.

Application filed November ornamentation, the ornamentation in permaientco s o nl,Y o.: he ds v t'- 5 ines to be in e-i tcolors Witlntheremainter in fuoitive colors so that various sized dresses may be made from theoutlines on the cloth, according to the desires of the dressmaker. Theseand other objects-are accomplished by my invention, one embodinrent ofWhich is hereinafter more particularly set forth.

For a more detailed description of my invention, reference is to be hadto the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, in which the figureshows an embodiment of my invention.

l is a sheet of fabric of any character which has a repeated designthereon, one of which is shown in the figure. This design 2, intheembodiment shoyvn, is in the-'form of a dress, thel front and back beingthe same so that by using a piece of cloth a little more than double thelength shown, mate` rial isv had for both the front and back, On vthisdress pattern 2 is stamped any suitable ornamentation 3 in a permanentcolor` or colors which -may be made as complicated or as simple asdesired.

There are also dress pattern lines of dif- `ferent characters, whichmay, be readily dis-v tinguished and these are made of fugitive` colorswhich may be easily Washed out, so that any of several sizes may bc cutfrom the pattern. In the embodiment shown there are several such lines`which are 'designated by the characters 36, 38 and 40, these charactersdesignate arbitrary numbers Which indicate sizes. Assuming that thelargest sized dress that mayzbe made from the pattern is desired, thedressmaker cuts along the line 40. If the dressmaker Wishes to make thenext largest size, the cutting should be along the lines 38 and if thesmallest size is desired there should be cutting along the line 36.After the garment is cut, the

parts are sevved together in the conventional manner and thereafter thegarment is Washed and the fugitive colors removed and then it may beironed and is ready for use.

As lstated above, a portion of the series of outlines 36, 38 and 40, maybe in fugitive colors and the remainder in permanent colors. Forinstance, the line i0 indicating the largest size may be in a permanentcolor, since it Will never be included in the body of the dress after itis cut. The smaller size lines, however, (36 and 38) should al-4 ways bein fugitive colors.

l/Vhile I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it isobvious4 that itis not restricted thereto, but that it is broad enoughto cover all structures that come Within the scope of the annexedclaims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim is:

1. A printed fabric suitable for garments the fabric having groups ofornamentsj` printed thereon, in permanent colors, and a series ofcutting outlines for different sizes around each group in fugitivecolors, each series of outlines indicating lines of cutting for asubstantially complete garment front or back the several series beingdisposed side by side and extending transversely of the fabric.

2. A printed fabric suitable for garments f JACQUES R. FREEDMAN.
